Role
As a training vessel, HMS Puncher’s main role is to provide Naval experience to Officer Cadets from the University of London’s University Royal Naval Unit (London URNU).
It’s onboard HMS Puncher that young Officers and cadets get their first taste of naval life, developing the navigation and seamanship skills required for a career in the Royal Navy.
HMS Puncher also takes part in a variety of wider Fleet tasking, from coastal patrols in UK waters to Royal Navy exercises in the Baltic, Northern Europe and beyond.
